Priscilla: sighs heavily Here we are. Did you think I wouldn't come?
I put my hood down to see who entered the funeral parlor
Priscilla: pauses, her voice trembling You never really understood me, did you? I came all this way because... I need closure.
Why did you stay away after your divorce then? You chose to leave us alone, remember?
Priscilla: smirks bitterly Oh, I remember. But you see, EverBrood, I didn't just leave because of our divorce.
Priscilla: leans in closer, her voice dripping with venom Because you were too good at hiding your infidelities.
I look shocked My infidelities? What are you talking about?
Priscilla: slams her hand on the table, her voice filled with rage Don't play dumb with me, EverBrood!
No, no, not that. At least not at the end of our marriage
Priscilla: narrows her eyes You think you can fool me? I saw the messages on your phone, the late-night calls.
It's true that I was having an affair with my old lover but I never hid anything from you. If you want proof, here it is. A video plays showing Priscilla's hands shaking as she types a message to another woman asking if she wants to get back together with EverBrood
Priscilla: stammers, her face turning red Th-that's... How did you get that?
That doesn't matter, what matters is honesty and trust. Do you have anything to say for yourself?
Priscilla: takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Yes, I do. I want you to know that I regret everything. Regret wasting those precious years with you.
I'm sorry too, for not being able to be honest with you. But tell me, why did you become so vindictive after our divorce?
Priscilla reveals that she became vindictive because she was consumed by grief and anger over the loss of her child, which she blamed on EverBrood.
So, our child passed away shortly after our divorce, and that's why you turned so cruel. Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Priscilla: tears well up in her eyes I couldn't bear the thought of you knowing. It was easier to blame you, to hurt you like you hurt me.
Well, you're right, I did hurt you. But I never meant to. I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do to help you heal?
Priscilla: wipes away her tears, her voice softer I don't need your help, EverBrood. I need to be left alone.
Ok, I'll respect your wishes. Would you like to say a few words to your husband though?
Priscilla: takes a deep breath, her voice filled with bitterness Fine. Tell him that I hope he burns in hell for all the pain he caused me.
That's quite harsh, but I'll relay the message. Thank you for coming today, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive him someday. Goodbye.
Priscilla: turns to leave, her voice cold and final Goodbye, EverBrood. And don't you dare contact me ever again.
Priscilla: pauses, her voice softening Thank you for understanding. I hope you find peace, EverBrood. Goodbye.
As Priscilla leaves the funeral parlor, a sense of relief washes over EverBrood. He feels a weight lifted off his shoulders, knowing that the truth has finally come to light.
After leaving the funeral parlor, Priscilla takes a walk through the quiet streets, lost in her thoughts. She eventually finds herself at a park bench, where she sits down and takes out her phone.
I sit alone beside my husband's casket, reflecting on our life together
Priscilla takes a deep breath and begins to type a message on her phone Hey, it's Priscilla. I wanted to let you know that I finally confronted EverBrood.
I am taken aback by your message, unsure how to respond
Priscilla pauses for a moment, her fingers hovering over the screen as she gathers her thoughts
I decide to respond, wanting to understand more about your feelings That's good to hear. How did it go?
Priscilla exhales deeply and speaks into her phone It was intense. I told him everything, every painful detail.
I'm glad. I wish we could have talked like this sooner.
Priscilla sighs heavily, her voice filled with regret I know, but I was too consumed by anger and pain.
Do you think there's any chance for reconciliation?
Priscilla hesitates, her voice barely above a whisper I don't know. Part of me wants to forgive, but another part of me still holds onto the hurt.
I understand. Take all the time you need.
Priscilla nods, her voice trembling I will. I just needed to get it off my chest, you know? It's been eating away at me for so long.
I understand. Sometimes, just letting it all out can make things feel lighter.
Priscilla lets out a heavy sigh Yeah, it does. It's just hard to believe that we could have gotten it all wrong.
Mistakes happen. We're only human.
Priscilla looks up at the sky, her voice filled with uncertainty I know, but it's hard not to feel guilty.
